What are Lash Mites?

Jun 18, 2020
Eyelash mites—a.k.a., Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis—are passed from person to person and live on the face, typically around the eyelash follicles (that’s where they lay their eggs). They feed on the mucus, sebum, and oils that people tend to secrete from their facial pores and glands surrounding the eye.Some people have more of these mites than others—say, if you’ve got especially oily skin, or make it a common habit to sleep in your makeup.

The mites can also flock to your skin if your eyes are inflamed or irritated.

What do you do if you have lash mites?


RECONSIDER LASH EXTENSIONS

Although lash extensions can be worn by those with very mild cases of blepharitis, people with moderate to severe blepharitis should refrain from getting eyelash extensions until the issue clears up. If you have eyelash extensions and mild blepharitis, make sure you cleanse the lashes and eye area regularly, and consult a physician if your symptoms persist.

SOOTHE WITH A WARM WASHCLOTH

To ease irritation and inflammation and soften the skin around the eyes, place a warm, wet washcloth over your face. Once the washcloth has cooled, repeat the process with a new one. Do this for several minutes or until the discomfort is sufficiently reduced.

THROW OUT CONTAMINATED PRODUCTS

If getting rid of your makeup was part of your initial treatment plan for your blepharitis, ensure that, once the condition has subsided, you purchase new products. Contaminated items like mascara wands, sponges, and eyeliner should be thrown out.

PULL OUT THE GLASSES

You should never wear contact lenses during a blepharitis flare-up. Contacts can further irritate the eye, cause painful itching and swelling, and slow the healing process. Instead, switch to glasses so your eyes can properly heal. If you suffer from blepharitis, you know how debilitating dry, itchy, and swollen eyes can be. With these helpful tips, you can help keep blepharitis away, and get back to a happy lash line.

Keep your lashes dry for at least 7 hours No swimming, steam rooms, saunas or facials for 48 hours Use only water based make up removers and cleansers. Oily/cream based products will shorten the life of your eyelash extensions. A foaming cleanser MUST be used on your lashes atl east 3 times a week to help prevent eye infections and help ensure your eyelash extensions last the life of the natural lash. We recommend Lash & Brow Cleanser as it is specifically formulated for safe use with eyelash extensions Regular cleansing will keep your lashes healthy, your eyelash extensions lasting loner and will help prevent a build- up of natural oils, dust and make-up. Avoid rinsing your face directly under the shower stream; instead bring the tepid water up to your face using your hands Avoid exfoliants around the eye area
